The Department of Homeland Security has been working to influence big tech platforms. This became originally evident when the Biden administration launched the ill-fated Disinformation Governance Board early in 2022, but has been a focus of their efforts even beyond that now-defunct unit, and before.
Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt filed a lawsuit that revealed via appended meeting minutes that former Microsoft executive Matt Masterson, who was formerly an official with DHS, told a DHS director in February 2022 that "Platforms have got to get comfortable with gov't. It's really interesteding how hesitant they remain." This according to The Intercept.
Prior to 2020, it was reported that DHS met with Twitter, Facebook, Wikipedia, and other platforms in order to coordinate "content moderation" operations. These meetings were part of an ongoing initiative which saw collusion and collaboration between DHS and big tech to determine how "misinformation" would be dealt with on those platforms.
Areas that came under this purview included the withdrawal from Afghanistan, undertaken disastrously by President Joe Biden in August 2021 as well as the origins of the Covid-19 virus, which became controversial enough that users were kicked off social media platforms for expressing the hypothesis that the virus originated in a Wuhan, China lab. A Senate report found last week that this was the most likely scenario. Information that could undermine trust in financial institutions was also targeted.
This is still breaking as they go through the documents.
JP Morgan Chase attended these meetings....showing that they were going to de-bank dissent.
Yes!
Wikipedia is the modern Pravda—.gov propaganda.
‘Platforms have to get comfortable with government’
Anyone who uses Twitter must use the hashtag:
#DHSLeaks
Nations hostile to US➡️Soros/Clintons/Obama/Bidens➡️Democrat party➡️Govt employees
The employees of our government are actually destroying our country.
bttt
The cancelation of these nefarious actions by these toads is in motion.
No different from how China manages all its “social media/tech” companies.
Our government has become an enemy of freedom.
Investigations starting in January 23 will start to see who is accountable and hopefully punished, somehow.

Vijaya has plenty of xplaining to do.
I checked The Constitution, didn’t see any DHS. What is going on here?
AND-—WE are paying them to do that !!!!!
Now musk has the twitter side of these discussions - lets see how he plays thing hand.
This is the classic definition of Fascism. Private ownership of companies that are under government control.
Ministry of truth.
Actually, it was a minority report by the Republicans on one committee, not a Senate report.
Thank you so much to George W MORON and the rest of the neoCONS for the deep state institutions you started so the government can collude and spy on American citizens with ZERO oversight. And let’s not forget the “Patriot Act” that moron and the neoCONs passed so they could abuse us and put the pieces in place for communists like obama and biden to abuse us. T
DHS was created in the wake of 9/11, purportedly to protect us from foreign terrorists. In just two decades, it has apparently decided it’d rather work to suppress the free speech rights of American citizens.
